Life Is What You Make It Riddim – Various Labels

Life Is What You Make It produced by Winston Riley, Bunny Gemini, Gyasi Addae for Techniques, Mogul, Bun Gem, Gyasi in 1980

Life Is What You Make It Riddim was produced by Winston Riley, Bunny Gemini and Gyasi Addae in 1980 for Techniques, Mogul, Bun Gem and Gyasi, and it pulls together a strong roots-to-lovers selection that includes Frighty and Colonel Mite’s title cut, Gregory Isaacs’ Don’t You Know, Frankie Paul and Little Richie’s You Must Be Getting Out Of Your Mind, and Barbara Jones’ Ebony Eyes. The set has that classic late-70s/early-80s Jamaican feel, with the same rhythm carrying different moods across singers and deejays, while the Dub – Version helps underline the instrumental side of the production. Winston Riley’s name alone places it in sturdy company, since Techniques material from this era is closely tied to some of the most durable reggae riddims of the period.
